Your Experts in Fixing Blocked Toilets

Encountering a clogged toilet in your household is undoubtedly an unwelcome inconvenience, demanding swift resolution. While a simple plunge might tackle minor blockages, more stubborn cases necessitate expert intervention.

Engaging a specialist in toilet plumbing ensures the most effective solution tailored to your specific issue.

Upside Down Plumbing prides itself on its proficiency in toilet plumbing services. Whether you’re grappling with a stubborn blockage or require comprehensive repairs, rest assured, our adept technicians are equipped to address your needs with precision and efficiency.

What Causes a Clogged Toilet?

A severely clogged toilet can stem from various factors. At Upside Down Plumbing, our toilet repair services are geared towards swiftly resolving blockages and restoring optimal functionality.

Common culprits behind a blocked toilet include:

  1. Flushing non-flushable items: It’s crucial to adhere to proper flushing etiquette, limiting disposals to human waste and toilet paper. Items like paper towels, feminine products, and even supposedly ‘flushable’ wipes should be disposed of in the trash to avert potential blockages.
  2. Low-flow toilet inefficiency: While low-flow toilets are lauded for water conservation, older models may lack the necessary pressure to expel waste effectively. Upgrading to a newer model can mitigate this issue.
  3. Excessive toilet paper usage: While designed to disintegrate, toilet paper can accumulate and impede drainage when excessively used, leading to blockages.
  4. Tree roots encroaching on sewer lines: Tree roots, seeking moisture, can infiltrate sewer lines, obstructing the flow and causing toilet blockages.
  5. Blocked plumbing vents: Plumbing vents play a critical role in maintaining proper airflow and preventing sewer gas buildup. Blockages in these vents can compromise toilet flushing capabilities.

An experienced toilet plumber can diagnose the root cause of your blockage and recommend the most effective solution. Trust Upside Down Plumbing to assess and address your toilet woes with expertise and efficiency.

Can I Fix My Blocked Toilet?

If you’re inclined to tackle your blocked toilet issue independently before seeking professional assistance, there are several DIY methods at your disposal. Equipping yourself with the right tools and following proper procedures can make the task more manageable.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • An effective toilet plunger
  • A bucket
  • Rubber gloves
  • Drain cleaning product (readily available at supermarkets or hardware stores)
  • Towels or old newspaper for floor protection
  • A wire coat hanger or drain snake

With these essentials at hand, you’re prepared to attempt resolving the blockage on your own. Consider the following DIY approaches:

  1. Using the toilet plunger: This method is often the first line of defence against various toilet blockages. Ensure the area around the toilet base is protected with towels or newspaper, and wear rubber gloves for hygiene. If the water level is too high, carefully remove excess water with a bucket. Note that a standard plunger may not be effective; opt for a specifically designed toilet plunger for best results, as it fits snugly in the bowl opening.
  2. Inserting a wire hanger or toilet snake: For more stubborn blockages, employing a wire coat hanger or drain snake can be effective. Straighten out the hanger and carefully insert it into the toilet drain, manoeuvring it to dislodge the obstruction. Alternatively, consider investing in a drain snake for a reusable solution.
  3. Using drain cleaner products: Various drain cleaners are available, ranging from chemical-based to organic solutions. Follow the product instructions carefully, pouring a sufficient amount into the toilet bowl and allowing it to sit for the specified time. Afterward, flush with boiling water and ensure adequate ventilation for safety.

After attempting these methods, if the blockage persists, it’s advisable to enlist the expertise of a professional blocked toilet plumber. Fortunately, Upside Down Plumbing technicians are readily available in your area to address any unresolved issues.
